A report released by the U.S. Air Force Thursday determined engine failure followed by crew error was responsible for a plane crash in Afghanistan late last January. The two Air Force aviators aboard the Bombardier E-11A aircraft died in the crash.
Lt. Col. Paul Voss, 46, and Capt. Ryan Phaneuf, 30, were assigned to the 430th Expeditionary Electronic Combat Squadron in Afghanistan at the time. The investigation, conducted by the Air Force's Air Combat Command, revealed that one of the pilots was flying a combat mission and the other was conducting a qualification training mission. The two had never flown together.
